Abstract

[Objective] To address power flow congestion and cost allocation problems in distribution networks caused by peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading among multiple microgrids (MG), and to promote the local consumption of distributed energy resources, a coordinated scheduling model considering dynamic network usage fees and power flow congestion is proposed. [Methods] First, a quantitative method for determining dynamic network usage fees is developed. The proposed fee consists of an electrical distance cost, a voltage management cost, and a network loss cost, thereby accounting for both the network resources occupied by P2P transactions and their effects on distribution network operation. Second, a bilevel coordinated scheduling framework involving the distribution system operator (DSO) and multiple MGs is established. At the upper level, the DSO performs power flow security verification for the initial P2P transaction schedules submitted by the MGs. When line power flow or nodal voltage limits are violated, a congestion management mechanism that minimizes the penalty associated with transaction curtailment is implemented to adjust the P2P transactions. At the lower level, a multi-MG scheduling model incorporating the dynamic network usage fees is formulated to coordinate internal resource scheduling and energy transactions among the MGs. Finally, the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, strong duality theory, and the Fortuny-Amat transformation are employed to reformulate the bilevel model as a tractable single-level mixed-integer second-order cone programming problem. [Results] Simulation studies based on a modified IEEE 33-bus system demonstrate that the proposed model can promote the local consumption of distributed energy resources, reduce distribution network losses and overall social costs, and effectively mitigate nodal voltage limit violations. The dynamic network usage fees can reasonably reflect the effects of P2P energy trading among multiple MGs on distribution network operation. [Conclusions] The proposed coordinated scheduling model therefore improves the economic efficiency of multi-MG energy trading while maintaining the secure operation of the distribution network.

Abstract
点对点(peer-to-peer, P2P)交易是一种适合分布式电力产消者参与电力市场的新型交易方式。基于市场化视角并综合考虑产消者的经济效益和分布式清洁能源就地消纳情况,设计了基于双轮竞价博弈的电力P2P交易流程,建立了以经济效益为目标和以申报电量出清为目标的双轮竞价博弈模型。针对一个包含居民、办公、商业等不同类型电力产消者的社区进行算例分析,结果显示:相较于连续双边拍卖、单轮竞价博弈以及全额与电网(peer-to-grid, P2G)交易的方式,双轮竞价博弈方式下经济效益分别提升19.01%、28.78%、56.81%,分布式清洁能源就地消纳率分别提升10.51%、24.05%、85.10%。结果表明,采用合理的竞价方式和报价策略,可增加分布式电力产消者的收益,也可提高P2P交易效率,促进分布式清洁能源就地消纳,助力“双碳”目标的实现。

P2P transactions are a new transaction mode suitable for distributed electricity prosumers participating in the electricity market. Considering the economic benefits to prosumers and the local consumption of distributed clean energy, a P2P electricity transaction process was developed based on a double-round bidding game, and a game model with the goals of economic benefit and clearing energy was established. An example analysis was conducted for a community with different types of distributed electricity prosumers such as residents, offices, and commerce. Compared with continuous bilateral auctions, one-round bidding games, and P2G, the results of P2P transactions with a double-round bidding game showed that economic benefits increased by 19.01%, 28.78%, and 56.81%, and the local consumption rate of distributed clean energy increased by 10.51%, 24.05%, and 85.10%, respectively. In conclusion, adopting a bidding method and strategy can increase the revenue of distributed electricity prosumers, improve the efficiency of P2P transactions, promote the local consumption of distributed clean energy, and help realize the “double carbon” goal.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is one of the promising approaches for implementing decentralized electricity market paradigms. In the P2P trading, each actor negotiates directly with a set of trading partners. Since the physical network or grid is used for energy transfer, power losses are inevitable, and grid-related costs always occur during the P2P trading. A proper market clearing mechanism is required for the P2P energy trading between different producers and consumers. This paper proposes a decentralized market clearing mechanism for the P2P energy trading considering the privacy of the agents, power losses as well as the utilization fees for using the third party owned network. Grid-related costs in the P2P energy trading are considered by calculating the network utilization fees using an electrical distance approach. The simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized approach for market clearing in P2P energy trading.
